Job interviewing tips for small businesses Ian MacRae CONTRIBUTOR

IAN MacRae believes there are different ways for business employers to find the ideal candidates for job openings.

Interviews are one of the least reliable sources of information for making hiring decisions, particularly when they are unplanned, unstructured, done by people who are inexperienced or if the interview isn’t really tailored for the position. One of the mistakes many small employers make comes out of the best intentions—doing research, looking for good questions to ask, or guides on how to do an interview. It’s an easy mistake to make. Finding an article online like “Top 10 Interview Questions Google/ Apple/Successful Company Asks Their Employees” seems intelligent. However, while they may be good questions for that particular company, with an experienced interviewer, to ask, as a small business owner, the same skills and personal attributes aren’t likely to thrive in a small business. These 10 points are based on 12 best practice tips for interviews we have identified in my book High Potential: How to Spot, Manage and Develop Talented People at Work. 1. Identify key characteristics. Interview questions should be based on the key, important characteristics associated with success on the job. They should be directly applicable to performance in the job. 2. Ask consistent questions. Have a list of questions prepared and ask the same questions of every candidate. Asking different questions of different candidates will make it more difficult to accurately compare results. 3. Make sure questions are specific and relevant. Ask questions about knowledge, past experience, particular skills or abilities. Where possible, ask people to demonstrate knowledge or understanding instead of asking whether or not they have the skills. Asking vague questions will get vague results. Are you hoping the person will be with your company for 20 years? If not, don’t ask interviewees where they see themselves in 20 years. 4. Answer questions after the interview is finished. Manage the structure and flow of the interview to keep it consistent between job candidates. Leave time for interviewees to ask questions at the end of the interview, but don’t let questions derail the planned questions in an interview. 5. Use numbered rating scales to rank characteristics. Rank the importance of your desired characteristics before beginning interviews then numerically rate can-

Strategies for seeking out job talent Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

hen Ian MacRae left high school, he knew he wanted to get into psychology. He went to UBCO. Then he landed a coveted spot in the University College London’s master’s degree program and knocked on doors until he found his supervisor, Adrian Furnham, a leading researcher in organizational psychology. Furnham is beyond prolific. In addition to

writing over 500 feature articles for newspapers and magazines and publishing upwards of 40 academic papers annually, he has stacks of textbooks and popular psychology books to his name. This might help explain how MacRae found himself with orders rolling in as he was wrapping up his first book—High Potential: How to Spot, Manage and Develop Talented People at Work— while on a brief sojourn in Kelowna. “It stressed me a bit. There were pre-orders be-

fore I even finished writing. Pre-orders started in September and the deadline was Oct. 1,” he said. There wasn’t even a book cover to launch an advertising campaign at that point. Nevertheless, MacRae can now say the book is headed for the shelves in Europe and North America and he has some very interesting information in his back pocket. First, it never hurts to find yourself a successful mentor and second, it helps to have some idea of the elements that help

one thrive in a career path. And thankfully, this is what his book is all about.

THE CONTROVERSY ON SMARTS

Are there talented people? Partly, according to MacRae and Furnham. “There is a component that is talent, but it’s relatively small and needs to be developed,” said MacRae. “It really depends on what type of domain or career type it is…So, to say someone has high potential, the first thing you really have to say is high

potential to do what.” This doesn’t mean there are different types of intelligence. There are some key components that make for smart people who are likely to succeed, he contends. And that’s not a very popular notion. This is not a popular idea. If you’ve ever heard of the New Yorker’s popular essayist Malcolm Gladwell, you’ve likely paused to consider his work on how that it takes See Talent A6

City council feel 2.49% tax increase a responsible step Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

On Thursday, city council unanimous-

ly voted to accept a provisional budget for 2014 that will include a planned 2.49 per cent tax increase. And the city’s mayor

and councillors did it with little debate about specific items, wrapping up their scheduled day-long deliberations in just six hours.

Planning your winter get away?

“It’s not quite the two per cent (increase) I was looking for, but realistically, there wasn’t much that could be cut,” said Coun. Andre Blanleil known as one of the most ardent fiscal conservatives on council. “I feel council has been pretty cautious when it comes to our budget. I don’t feel there is another

city in Canada that gives as good a bang for the (tax) buck.” The $289 million provisional budget will rely on a total of $107.7 million in tax revenue next year, with the rest coming from fees, charges, grants and money from city reserves. Council headed into its annual budget deliber-

ations with a staff recommendation of a 2.67 per cent tax increase. That figure would have added just over $45 to the average Kelowna homeowner’s tax bill. The new figure will drop that amount to $42.08, said city financial services director Keith Grayston. Blanleil, a 20-year veteran of council, said he

expects the total taxation demand will likely be reduced by the time council approves the final budget in May because the estimated new construction revenue the city uses to offset the annual tax hike always seems to be higher than anticipated. He predicted it could drop to nearer to 2.3 per cent. Despite the fact the proposed tax increase is higher than many workers pay hikes will likely be this year, Mayor Walter Gray made no apologies, saying he believes residents of his city are more interested in the level, and value, of service they receive from the city. “If members of the public feel they are getting fair value, then they seem generally satisfied,” said Gray. While the budget contained some big ticket items when it comes to new spending, such as a total of $8.5 million for a new Lakeshore Road bridge—a project that failed to attract a grant from the province—more than $2.6 million for road resurfacing, a $5.4 million revamp of the Queensway transit exchange, $500,000 for new sidewalks and $800,000 to buy a road right of way through the Rutland Centennial Park property which, in turn, will be used by the owners of the Rutland Centennial Park Hall to improve it, it was also lightened a little by the removal of a plan to spend $125,000 on a new McCulloch Road bridge and a saving of $100,000 of the $400,000 earmarked for upgrading the newly acquired land in Rutland Centennial Park. The savings for the park upgrade will come from money in a sports field reserve account.

▼ THE KEY TO SUCCESS

Careers from A3

didates for easier comparison. Take detailed notes. 6. Use multiple interviewers when possible. More raters improves reliability of overall ratings. If possible, Interviewer A should be responsible for all Interview A Questions, Interviewer B responsible for all B questions. Don’t mix and match. 7. Keep the process consistent. Use the same interviewers to ask the same questions, try to schedule interviews at similar days and times when possible. If you’re not a morning person either schedule all or none of your interviews in the morning. 8. Use research and evidence. Base job descriptions and interview questions on evidence instead of personal opinion where possible. Look at similar job descriptions from other companies or regions. Ask colleagues and employees what are the most important characteristics for their jobs. 9. Don’t ask silly questions. If the interviewee had superpowers/had to be a type of fish/was a copyright protected fantasy character they wouldn’t be applying for this job. You have limited time and are making an important decision. Ask questions that are specific, relevant and targeted to the work. 10. Be kind. Interviews are a demanding and nerve-wracking experience for many people. They take much more time, energy and emotion than just asking or answering a few questions. Acknowledge and contact unsuccessful applicants, even in a group email thanking unsuccessful applicants is better than ignoring people.

10,000 hours to really get good at something. This is not really so, MacRae and Furnham point out. “Intelligence is sort of a general mental capability that involves ability to reason, plan, solve problems, understand complex ideas and learn from experience,” he said. “You do need to practice and you do need experience, but someone who is five-foot-three can’t be a high-jumper by practising. And the same is true of intelligence models too.” In other words, not everyone is suited for every job, MacRae says.

Not everyone is suited for every job

COMBINATIONS OF TRAITS

There are six attributes MacRae and Furnham focus on when talking about likelihood to succeed.

It’s Time for Christmas at the Plaza

How they are emphasized depends on the job role involved. And what’s good for one job, can be a detriment to another. Their six include: 1. Conscientiousness: This refers to goal-oriented thinking, planning and long-term planning. We tend to think of conscientiousness as a good quality, but those who are conscientious are not always best suited for every position. Those with low conscientiousness tend to be more spontaneous and, while they might be late for work, they adapt to new situations well and are often more creative. 2. Curiosity: It addresses one’s openness to new information and new ways of doing things. Someone with low curiosity is more bound by convention and sticks to their own way of doing things. Those who are highly curious are open to exploring. 3. Stress: Stress reactivity is the threshold a person has for tolerating

‘‘

SO, TO SAY SOMEONE HAS HIGH POTENTIAL, THE FIRST THING YOU REALLY HAVE TO SAY IS HIGH POTENTIAL TO DO WHAT. Ian MacRae

stress before it becomes a problem. Those who tend more to the neurotic side are constantly worrying about what others are saying about them and wondering if they are doing things right. Those who can tolerate a great deal of stress can function effectively for a long time with distressing distractions before becoming overwhelmed. 4. Courage: This is the term the pair used for having an ability to take risks. This is about having the difficult conversations up front, taking risks in one’s one work or, converse-

ly, avoiding it. Those who are low on the courage scale tend to avoid conflict, so they can be a real asset in a collaborative work environment with a defined task. 5. Competitiveness: A competitive edge is a challenging trait because it can be helpful or it can be a hinderance in a given job. Ideally, someone with a middle of the road approach to competition is most likely to succeed in the average job environment and those who focus on team success are least likely to upset the apple cart. Every once in a while, however, there’s a position where a taste for competition is really just the key to success. 6. Ambiguity acceptance is about a person’s capacity to handle complex situations, like sorting through two different versions of events. People who thrive in ambiguous situations can make great leaders, but there are also times when it’s a good idea to find a person who enjoys a really

defined, less complex environment. These are the people who want to have a job, get it done and not have to deal with multiple competing commandments. The route to success involves figuring out what traits best describe yourself and then matching that to jobs where those traits are really needed. It’s certainly happened for MacRae. He’s planning a new book addressing generational difference, which he believes should dispel the myth that people of his generation are lazy, entitled and believe they are owed something in the job environment. In the meantime, his current book, available on Amazon.com and in book stores this spring should help prospective employers and employees determine how to be a superstar at work. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @jaswrites

Trust fund set up for injured newspaper carrier Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A Lake Country man is facing a series of charges after allegedly running down a newspaper carrier while trying to evade police. Nathan Daniel Fahl, 24, has been charged with dangerous driving causing bodily harm, impaired driving causing bodily harm, failure to stop at accident with vehicle, flight causing bodily harm, assault a peace officer with a weapon and operating a motor vehicle while disqualified. It’s alleged that Fahl failed to stop Friday, Dec. 6, for police at a road check on Springfield Road at Leckie Road and carried on to strike down Steve Kania who was out delivering newspapers at Dundee Road at the intersection of Dundas Road. “The Eagle Talon impacted a fire hydrant after striking the pedestrian and

Cap News carrier facing a long recovery Carrier from A6 came to a rest,” said Const. Kris Clark. “Police officers immediately attended to the pedestrian and called for an ambulance as he appeared to have suffered serious injuries. The 41year-old Kelowna man was taken to hospital in critical condition.” Kania, 41, is in Vancouver and is facing a long road to recovery. Kania suffered injuries to his legs, head and spine. Surgery on spinal injuries has been completed at Vancouver General Hospital, and his mother has said that doctors have asked he stay nearby so they can help him with the physiotherapy that’s to

follow. Kania’s family is financially disadvantaged, so they’re struggling to find a way to be there with him during his hour of need. Kania’s brother Richard was given a Greyhound ticket, and with $100 in his pocket left for Vancouver to be by his brother’s side. His mother is in Kelowna, and the owner of KP Tirecraft has outfitted her with a set of winter radials, in case she needs to drive to Vancouver. The Capital News wants the public to know that anyone wishing to donate to the Kania family can do so at any local TD Bank branch. The trust fund has

been set up in Steve Kania’s name. The investigation into the case is ongoing. The Independent Investigations Office of BC was notified and immediately after Kania was struck down, and asserted jurisdiction over the investigation into the actions of the police while the Kelowna RCMP Serious Crime Unit continued the concurrent criminal investigation.

Council deferred the request for an amendment to the Official Community Plan and rezoning for the construction of a four-storey commercial building at St. Paul Street and Clement Avenue. Staff have been asked to report back about parking, neighbourhood interface and building use concerns.

Council was presented with an overview of the 2014 provisional financial plan. Staff recommendation is for a 2.67 per cent tax increase. A full day of budget deliberations will take place on Dec. 12, 2013 and the final tax rate will be set in May 2014.

Council endorsed a joint use agreement with school district 23 for a Neighbourhood Learning Centre (NLC) at Okanagan Mission Secondary School. Development of this NLC provides for the construction of a second gymnasium at the school and the Joint Use Agreement will provide the City access to the new gym and other school program areas.

letter of the week Convenient laws won’t help local vintners

To the editor: I hope the public are understanding the changes that are being discussed in regards to the sale of alcohol and the repercussions that will come about if this new liquor policy is passed. The recommendation of grocery store liquor sales is one of several expected in the final report, which John Yap,t Parliamentary Secretary forb Liquor Policy Reform, de-t livered to Justice Ministerh Suzanne Anton on Nov. 25.T John Yap explains how “con-e venient” it would be to haveN grocery stores be permitted to t sell alcohol.

LETTERS

▼ CELL,TABLET, LAPTOP

Feds sneaking through bill on copyright To the editor: I would like to call attention to a piece of legislation that is being hustled through our Canadian Parliament right now. Known as Bill C-8, it contains pieces the same as ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement). This is a bill that is receiving very little public debate and you might wonder why. Turns out, all of Europe voted this down after global outcry, the Americans are pressuring Canada to adopt it and it might affect you. It is being paired with an anti-counterfeiting bill, which no one would want to vote against. That would be like voting against safety. However, the piece in question is the second part of the bill. It deals with copyright issues and gives sweeping powers to the CBSA (Canadian Border Services Agency) to seize materials they may judge to not comply with the legislation. CBSA has recently been handed a $143 million budget cut from the federal government, so it seems an odd time to be asking

these individuals to be making decisions on people crossing into Canada with potential copyright violations. You’re probably wondering how this might affect you. Well, these border guards, with no additional training, will be in a position to check all of your electronic devices you might be travelling with for copyrighted materials. So, your phone, tablet/pad, laptop and e-reader all could be subject to search for materials that you would need to prove you have permission to possess. The implications of this might mean these items are seized until you can prove you actually bought the CD that music came from, or the book that you’re enjoying on your e-reader. Our rights to privacy could be arbitrarily breached using this legislation by someone with no technical knowledge of copyright infringement. Worse, you could wind up with a criminal record for a movie you downloaded to your tablet for your kids to watch while on the plane.

This bill is being discussed, in secret in Parliament now, without anyone with expertise in this area allowed to contribute. This is not a law that would protect victims from exploitation. And there is already legislation in place to punish counterfeiters. So why is this being pushed through Parliament with little debate and at a time when we are all busy with holidays? I have written to Prime Minister Harper and Industry Minister James Moore to ask these questions. It sounds like this bill needs more debate and the Canadian public need more details before we allow ourselves to be subject to additional searches, potential criminal charges and less personal privacy at the border. And if you’re hoping to get an electronic device under the tree this Christmas and ever want to travel with it, you might want to ask, too. S. Kirwin, West Kelowna

Many helping hands for Women’s Shelter Thrift Store

To the editor: Thank you to all of the people/organizations/ businesses that responded to our letter and offered to help. (Women’s Shelter Thrift Store Needs Generosity, Oct. 24 Capital News.) We send out a big thank you to the 55+ hockey team from West Kelowna. They saved us a great deal of money on our move by their muscle power and generosity. Some of them also helped us with painting and other odd jobs in our new location. Our request for flooring was answered by Dannburg Flooring. They

gave us free flooring for three rooms that had no flooring. Kirk Chappell (Chappell Flooring) installed our flooring at no cost. Duncan Robinson (West Bay Construction) built us a “pony wall” and ramps so we can be safe and accessible for our customers with physical handicaps. Home Hardware supplied building materials at cost. RONA donated baseboard moldings. Bob, at the Gospel Mission, came with men (their labour paid for by our customer Tom) to do some much needed

“grunt” work. Terri Ann Novello, our realtor, worked hard to find us an appropriate space. Colin Basran, a city councillor, recruited some key volunteers. Ryan Smith and other City of Kelowna staff found ways to overcome our zoning quandary. Last but not least, is our wonderful board members who do all they can to assist us in getting back on our feet. I apologize to those that I did not acknowledge who deserve to be noted here. Thank you so much to all of you. We are now open at

our new location, #6 – 368 Industrial Ave. Many of our customers have had a difficult time finding us. We apologize to them but because of the cost of the move we have not been able to afford paid advertising. Although we were blessed with some generous support, we were closed for almost a month. That means that we were not bringing in revenue for the shelter. We still have a “wish list” of needs that we cannot afford to tend to as yet. A plumber is needed, the floor in the main area will eventually have to be replaced, security issues dealt with, etc.

We were only in our location a short time when we had two large rocks thrown through a front window. Of course, that window replacement was an unfortunate expense. As you can see there is still work to be done and we welcome any kind of support you can give us. We are grateful to live in such a wonderful caring community. Thanks to the generosity of many we will recover fully from this challenging experience. Lynda McGowan, Kelowna

like private and government stores, move their operations inside a supermarket.” So here is another argument for this model. Which licensees will be selling their wines in these supermarkets? Being a boutique winery

owner myself, I know for a fact it will not be us, nor will it be any of the other small, family-owned and operated wineries in B.C. We cannot afford to drop our price point to a number that suits a huge supermarket chain. We will only lose if this reform is passed as

a percentage of our potential customers will be lost. It’s not only the small wineries that will suffer, the family-owned licensees will also struggle. For sure, the government liquor stores will have presence as will the larger corporate wineries and once again the small

business owners get shafted. There is no doubt that this new liquor policy will take effect eventually as this will only increase the taxes paid to the government on alcohol sales, which is their only intent even if they are trying to

I would like to give a special thanks to Sue who is a retired nurse from Kelowna who ended up interrupting the enjoyment and peacefulness of her flight to give me first-aid. The ambulance crew were also incredibly efficient and caring as well as the hospital staff.

may be a bit more challenging than it’s been in the last couple of years, according to a new report released by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Numbers released Thursday show that the vacancy rate for apartments in this part of the valley were at 1.8 per cent this October, compared to four per cent the year before. Similarly, availability rates dropped from 4.5 per cent in October 2012 to 2.7 per cent this year. That shrinking supply has pushed the cost of housing up this year over last year as well. The average rent for a two bedroom apartment October last year was

$927, and it’s now around the $970 mark. So, what caused the change? Paul Fabri, a CMHC market analyst, says there are a few factors that are having an impact. First off, there were fewer additions to the rental building stock in 2013, compared to 2011 and 2012. Fewer new structures amount to less options for renters. There’s also competition for rentals from buyers. When the investor market tanked a few years ago, many of the condos in Kelowna were left empty and rented out, lessening the pressure on the purpose-built rental

ment increased, but the new on-site buildings don’t accommodate the bulge in student population. Now many students are in need of off campus housing, soaking up a lot of the supply. Finally, the returning health of the economy through increasing job numbers combined with last year’s stable rental rates likely gave some a chance to change their lifestyle. While these conditions may have halved the rental availability rate, and reflect a stronger local economy, Fabri doesn’t think that the city will head into the conditions of the mid 2000s, when rental opportunities were virtually non-existent. “Then there were higher levels of in migration, and the economy was growing faster,” he said. “Now we’re seeing some improvement, but it’s not likely we will see vacancy quite that low in the short term.”

supply. A recent uptick in sales by people who actually want to live in the condo they own may have dried up that avenue of rental housing. “We have no solid numbers on that,” Fabri added, noting another factor may be more relevant to the change. “There’s been rising student enrolment (at UBC Okanagan,),” he said. Student residences were built in 2011 at the same time student enrol-

Apple research and marketing initiative launched Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Orchardists around the Okanagan will be receiving information in the mail this coming week encouraging them to vote on a proposal for an apple commission that would fund industry research and promotion from a levy on all apple production. The B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association proposal for an Apple Research and Promotion Agency (ARPA) requires that 40 per cent of growers vote and than 60 per cent of those vote in favour of the initiative, explained manager Glen Lucas. However, BCFGA board member Peter Simonsen says he was surprised at the response from growers at meetings

at the end of November when the topic came up. “I was surprised by the negativity,” he commented. There also seemed to be a lot of confusion about the proposal, which would involve a levy of 2/10 cent a pound or eight cents a box of apples and could result in far more money going toward industry research and promotion. Not only could the fund attract matching funding from senior government, but if it became a national initiative, imported fruit would also be levied, meaning the fund would double as foreign growers contributed as well. Already New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec have approved a similar levy, but until all fruit growing regions in the

Parking lots get extra attention Kelowna RCMP Citizen Patrol and Auxiliary Constable Volunteers are now patrolling local shopping centre parking lots in an effort to prevent thefts from vehicles as busy holiday shoppers become enticing targets for enterprising thieves. The volunteer patrols will be during the afternoon and evenings until Dec. 22, committing as many as 600 person-hours to this seasonal crime prevention effort.

country approve it, it’s not a national council, so no levy would have to be paid by foreign growers selling their apples in the Canadian market. Only Nova Scotia and B.C. have not yet approved it, and Simonsen said Nova Scotia growers have said they will if B.C.

does. Funds raised would go toward such research as how to reduce rot or spoilage in storage, and to promoting B.C. apples. The levy would be collected from all apple producers growing more than two acres of apples, no matter where they pack,

ship or sell their fruit, said Lucas. Simonsen pointed out that growers shipping through the B.C. Tree Fruits Co-operative already pay 35 cents on every box toward promotion, and this proposal would likely save those growers money.

“We want growers to become informed on the proposal and to vote. We are confident that if growers take the initiative to vote, the outcome will be positive,” said Jeet Dukhia, president of the BCFGA. Partial funding for the project has come from the

Investment Agriculture Foundation. Growers can vote by mail or at the BCFGA agm to be held Feb. 15 in Kelowna. More information on ARPA can be found at: www.bcapplecouncil.org jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Celebrate Safely Please don’t drink and drive! Even now, despite the ever increasing number of public awareness campaigns, drunk driving is frequently at the centre of horror stories involving families across Canada. In fact, nearly all Canadians have heard or read at least once over the last year, a story about a drunk driver having hit a child, and innocent bystander, an ordinary person. It is more than ever the time to learn some lessons from these terrible experiences. You’ve been invited to a family evening where drinks will be flowing freely or to a Happy Hour with your work colleagues? These are, without doubt, occasions when you could really have a lot of fun. But don’t kid yourself; it’s highly likely that you won’t be in a fit state to drive by the end of the evening. Add to that the difficult driving conditions we can encounter during the winter and you’ve got a good recipe for disaster... Happily there exists a whole range of options to avoid driving under these conditions. There is, of course, the designated driver system as well as many organizations, especially during the holiday season, which will pick you up and drive you home in your own car, as safe as can be.

Local referee called up to work World Juniors

Kevin Parnell

STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna referee Steve Papp still recalls the phone call that changed his Christmas plans this season. The 29-year-old was in Portland earlier this year, waiting to work a Western Hockey League game, when his cell phone chimed with the good news that he was being hired to work this year’s World Junior Hockey Championship, one of the biggest and certainly most important hockey events of the year. “It was a pretty cool moment, it’s one of those goals that you have as a kid,” said Papp, who has been a WHL referee for eight seasons and is currently working several games a month in the American Hockey League. “I’m a big fan of the world junior tournament and obviously you would like to play in it. But when I start refereeing I didn’t think I would ever get this chance. It’s worked out. I’m still just in awe that this has happened.” Papp is one of 12 referees that will work the round robin portion of the World Junior Hockey Championship, being held this year in Malmo, Sweden and beginning on Boxing Day. He doesn’t know how many

games he will work, and as the tournament moves on, his work will be watched closely by the IIHF (International Ice Hockey Federation) who will monitor and then select the top referees to work the playoff and medal round games. For Papp, a married father of a 20 month old son, getting the chance to work the world junior will replace that age old tradition for hockey fans of tuning in to the world junior tournament during the Christmas holiday. “As a fan growing up you would always watch it and want to play in it,” he said. “Now just to think I’m going to be be there at Christmas instead of waking up and watching it with my Dad and my brother. I’m sure when I get over there it will start to sink in.” What’s also starting to sink in is that Papp is getting a chance to impress the NHL this season for what could be an eventual shot at higher levels of pro hockey. This season Papp has been hired for an average of two American Hockey League games a month, in addition to working eight to 10 WHL games each month. The NHL oversees referee development for the AHL and like players who are hoping to eventually hit the ice in the NHL, the pro hockey dream is alive for Papp as

well, although he knows it’s a tough road to eventually make it to the show. “In the future there will be some turnover (amongst NHL referees),” he said. “There are a lot of guys looking for those spots and I guess I’m on the radar. The chance is still there but it’s definitely a fine line if they are hiring at the right time and you are the right guy. Eventually you have to decide if you want to keep pursuing it. The next couple of years I will really know if the door is going to open.” Working games at the WHL level is far from a full-time job as the men in stripes also have careers. Papp holds down a full-time sales jobs with Falcon Railing out of Kelowna and gets great support on the home-front since he and his wife became parents for the first time. “Being a father is definitely a lot of fun but it’s challenging when you are traveling a lot and have goals that you want to chase,” he said. “But I have a great wife at home who is very understanding and that makes it a lot easier.” The World Junior Hockey Championship opens on Boxing Day. As a Canadian, Papp will not be refereeing any of Team Canada’s games as per IIHF rules.

With two of the biggest midget hockey tournaments in Western Canada looming, not to mention Christmas, the Okanagan Rockets return to Kelowna this weekend for what should be a tough test against one of the only teams to beat the Rockets this season. Okanagan (18-31) hosts the Valley West Hawks (15-6-1) for a pair of games in Kelowna this weekend as the team plays out the final two weekends of action prior to the BCMML’s Christmas break. “We’ve identified the Hawks as an opponent we have to be wary of as far as our championship goals,” said Rockets manager David Michaud. “We have a chance to push our lead over them in the standings, but more importantly we want to keep playing good hockey. I think we went through a down stretch over the last month, where we gave some opportunities to teams that we shouldn’t have. Sometimes we are on our own worst enemy in terms of playing with intensity for 60 minutes.” The Rockets and Hawks split two games earlier this season in Richmond. Following this weekend the Rockets close out the BCMML pre-Christmas schedule with a home and home set next weekend with the Thompson Blazers. The team’s final game comes on Dec. 22 but there won’t be much of a Christmas break for players who will leave Christmas Day for the annual Mac’s Midget Tournament in Calgary. The Rockets will also play in the annual Kelowna International Midget Tournament Jan. 8 to 12. “We’re excited for these tournaments coming up,” said Michaud. “It’s an opportunity to break

up the monotony of a long season and I think we can use it for good preparation for the playoffs. They are short tournaments, you never know what’s going to happen and you have to play very well.” It will be the seventh straight year Okanagan has played in the Mac’s tournament but due to scheduling in the BCMML one of the only times they have played in the KIMMIT event. “It’s tough we can’t support the KIMMIT every year even though we would like to,” said

Spirit Bear trademark at heart of dispute involving local distiller Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The staff and lawyers at Benson Law LLP would like to wish their friends and clients a happy holiday season, a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. Benson Law LLP is a proud supporter of the local community and is pleased to provide legal services throughout the Okanagan.

A Kelowna business man says he’s going to fight to the bitter end to protect his company he says is being threatened by a greedy First Nation band and city. Mike Urban of Urban Distilleries is in the middle of a trademark battle he says he was first forced into in 2011. “I put through my own trademark, Spirit Bear vodka, before I opened up Urban Distilleries in 2010,” he said. “I did my due diligence before I came up with my brands, and there was no issue with anything.” Then, a year later he heard the City of Terrace and the Kitasoo First Nation opposed the trademark. The Kitasoo First Nation and the City of Terrace say that defending the Spirit Bear trademark in court is in the best interests of the northwest. “The Spirit Bear is associated with this part of B.C. and the City of Terrace wants to continue to main-

And for the combined efforts of fundraising and promoting the region, he said he’s received “tons of support.” “Many people who live in that area are saddened and disappointed in their city,” he said, pointing out that his Facebook page is filled with letters from people who have said as much. And he’s hoping that written support will somehow translate into a legal win. If it doesn’t, the company he’s been building will die. “I’d have to start from scratch… from day one,” he said. “I no longer have the means to get the brand off the ground.” Urban says if you would like to help Urban Distilleries, donations can be made at any Scotiabank (acct # 80150 0212822) or you can help just by going to your local liquor store and picking up a Spirit Bear Vodka or Gin.

The Spirit Bear name has been used on other products, so long as there is a monetary exchange. “I don’t know why else they would be doing this,” he said. “ I promote the bear and Terrace. I promote tourism. Now I’m going after zero tourism for Terrace. I just don’t understand, I just wanted to give back.” Since the company started, Urban says he’s been putting aside

ROME—Stand within the Colosseum’s massive bowl, and you can practically hear the roar of the ancient crowd. But to capture the sounds of today’s Rome, it’s best to get away from the flurry of tourists and settle into a quaint trattoria like Da Tonino, where everyone within its rustic walls chatters away in Italian. No sign outside announces the restaurant; my wife and I dined there courtesy of a local’s tip. And that cloaked quality was precisely its appeal. Hidden gems—ignored by the guidebooks, well off the tourist path— await in nearly every nook of this wondrous city. Of course visitors should crane their necks at the Vatican, sip espresso at an open-air bar in Piazza Navona and climb the Spanish Steps. But in a place with a history so long and rich that it is dubbed “the Eternal City,” only one approach seems plausible: Peel away the layers, savouring each one, to get a deeper sense of the place.

The walls came down in the late 19th century, and a stately, imposing synagogue (Lungotevere De Cenci) went up on the neighborhood’s edge.

That’s certainly the rote response at the catacombs in the Church of the Immaculate Conception (Via Vittorio Veneto 27; www. cappucciniviaveneto.it), where thousands of bones have been fashioned into light fixtures, hourglasses, arches and even flowers in rooms with names such as The Crypt of Pelvises. The Catholic Church’s Capucin sect, which has a history of an often-cultish relationship with the

dead, crafted these “works of art” with the remains of 4,000 of their flock. Appreciating, or at least understanding, this attitude is enhanced mightily by a fabulous museum above the crypt, leading to a plaque that advises: “What you are now, we used to be. What we are now, you shall be.” OK, then. Bill Ward is a reporter with the Star Tribune in Minneapolis.

Charlie Hodge Tyler Seguin and several others. It is a trend that does not seem to be slowing down. I continue to harp on the fact that a solution to eliminating violent or dangerous actions by players in the NHL is relatively simple. Disciplinary head honcho Brendon Shanahan and NHL commissioner Gary ‘Pussyfoot’ Bettman simply need to adopt my cause and effect remediation. 1:24Any PM time Page 1 a player injures another player through an illegal or deemed dangerous hit or action (like punching a player in the face when they are down on the ice)

that player should be suspended without pay for a minimum of the length of time it takes for the victim to return to play. In other words, if you ram another player into the boards head first and he misses 20 games with a concussion—then so do you. If the player’s career is ended, then quite possibly so is yours. That rule would eliminate any need to have a hearing or debate the length of suspension. Certainly an appeal process would be available in mitigating situations—and injuries would have to be confirmed by an independent doctor. The end result is that players would ultimately he held fully accountable for their actions. ••• The above process may seem radical but it certainly would be effective. It makes one wonder if such a severe punish-

ment should not be handed out to repeat drunk driving or dangerous driving offenders. I am continually shocked and disgusted with how often I hear that someone was injured or killed by a ‘repeat’ DUI driver. I do not understand why a second DUI conviction does not constitute automatic jail time, and on a third conviction the driver’s license is simply taken away for a minimum of 10 years or perhaps life. As far as I am concerned, if you kill someone while driving drunk you should never see a driver’s seat again let alone get out of jail. Absurd. ••• Nominations are now being accepted for the 39th annual Kelowna Civic Awards and you are encouraged to get involved. This is a great event

Hodge from A26 lie’s Angels Christmas List some 25 years ago, (give or take a few years) as a way of acknowledging the many amazing people during the previous year that had made a difference in my world. However, it quickly dawned on me that readers likewise had such angels in their life and I opened it up to submissions. Since then I have received hundreds of names suggested ‘angels’ from

Hodge Podge readers wishing to applaud people whose kind hearts and generous actions have brought a smile to others. The criteria are simple. All your angel has to have done is something nice, from a needed smile at the right moment to saving your life. Over the years I have come to realize the Angels List has helped inspire more pleasure than I ever imagined. Not only does it allow readers to express their gratitude but it is a pleas-

take a few minutes out today and jot down the name(s) of people you consider angels in your life with a brief reason why they deserve the rec-

Negotiating the tech world to find a gift for children

Gone are the days of simple gifts for kids —Popples, Pogo Balls, Rainbow Bright and Roller Racers. The youth of today know what they want, and it usually involves tech. Whether it’s because

of a new trend or a product that their favourite celebrity is sporting at the moment, kids want the latest and greatest, and nothing seems to hit the spot as much as new technology. But how do parents

know which tech items are best suited for their children, and should age be a factor in determining what to buy? With the holiday time crunch in mind, retailers like Staples have made it easy to choose the right

IF YOUR TEEN HAS A PASSION FOR MUSIC, THEN HEADPHONES ARE THE WAY TO GO.

For older kids the Google Nexus 7 is very cool. It has a seven-inch screen, 16GB and every core feature you need in a tablet. If your teen has a passion for music, then headphones are the way to go. Beats by Dr. Dre produce high-definition sound, turning listening to music into an experience.

IT’S ALL about technology gadgets on the Christmas wishlists of most youngsters again this year. The iRig Mix is a mobile mixer for iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, and is great for teens who want to experiment with DJing. Many kids are into gaming and with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One hitting the shelves just before

the holiday season, parents should be prepared. These two consoles are hot items this year. A couple of key games for either console are Call of Duty: Ghosts, and Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag. And for those who just

want to have fun, the go-to gift is the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Camera. They come in a variety of colours and instantly print out photos, capturing fond moments with loved ones.

OFFICE GIFT ETIQUETTE

For your every

Christmas Wish…

ON HWY. 97 AT COOPER RD. KELOWNA

Office gifts can get complicated around the holidays. Questions like what should you buy, how much should you spend, and what is an appropriate gift come to mind. There is an etiquette that goes

hand in hand with office gift-giving. These tips will help you stay in the good books with your boss and coworkers this year. Company policies— some organizations have HR policies around gift-giving and receiving. If you are new to a workplace it’s best to connect with your HR department or ask several colleagues that have been employed for a few years to see what typically occurs in the office around

the holidays. Personal gifts—avoid gifts that are overly intimate, the list includes items that can enhance appearances, undergarments, flowers, and perfume to name a few. These types of gifts can be misunderstood by your colleague and place you in a bad position. If you are not sure if a gift is acceptable, it most likely isn’t. Spending—when buying a gift it is important to not overspend. Not everyone can afford to purchase lavish gifts, and you do not want to make a colleague feel obligated

to reciprocate. Determine a budget and stick to it, remember there are great gifts out there for $20 or less. Gift suggestions— holiday themed gift baskets are nice and they don’t have to be excessive. Many retailers carry varieties of Tassimo and Keurig products, along with mugs filled with sweets, coffee or tea, turning your office supply shop into a one-stop gifting destination. Other office gifting suggestions include Moleskin notebooks, gift cards, business card cases, or a nice pen.

Ken Bessason, of Royal LePage Kelowna, and Helen Holton, with Prudential Kelowna Properties, are the 2013 recipients of the Realtors Care Awards for the Central Okanagan zone of the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board. This is the seventh year OMREB has recognized the exemplary volunteer efforts of its member real estate agents. The awards were presented at the Central Zone’s annual holiday luncheon last Friday, and OMREB-wide recognition will occur at the organization’s annual general meeting in March 2014. “Ken and Helen are very worthy recipients of this award,” said OMREB president Karen Singbeil. “Their energetic and ongoing support for worthwhile causes in the Kelowna and West Kelowna area exemplifies those realtors who have made long-term contributions to the communities in which they live and earn a living. They promote public awareness that our members care deeply and are actively involved.” Ken Bessason is recognized for his outstanding community service and leadership—tirelessly and selflessly supporting fundraising events for a variety of non-profit societies, and volunteering his time and expertise to a number of business organizations. For the last 15 years, Bessason has lived in Kelowna, helping those in need and making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate – most notably, the Okanagan Kids Care Society which has raised and donated close to $1.4 million since 1995. Over the years, he has also worked diligently to further the efforts of the Variety Club Boat for Hope, Shelter Foundation, Salvation Army, and United Way. Bessason also graciously gives back to the business community.

2014 Jeep Cherokee The Chrysler group is on a tear these days with month after month of consecutive growth and awards to back it up. Who would have thought a few short years ago that Chrysler, of the Detroit Three, would be in second place in Canada, just slightly behind Ford and well ahead of General Motors. This has been achieved by filling a few holes in their full-line offensive. For example, until a year ago, Chrysler didn’t have a compact car, now they do with the Dodge Dart. Most surprising is that the strong sales have established without have a vehicle to compete in the fastest growing segment, the compact SUV. Now, with the introduction of this all-new Jeep Cherokee, Chrysler has something to take on establish players like the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. The new Cherokee has only been for sale for about a month now but sales for the Jeep brand are up more than 34 percent over last year. In addition, the new Jeep Cherokee just won its category (best new SUV under $35,000) as adjudged by the Automobile Journalist Association of Canada (AJAC). Looks Some might not remember the old boxy Cherokee that was sold in the 1990s; it was a very simple design that appealed to diehard Jeep enthusiasts. This new Cherokee is trying to win over new buyers, not just the Jeep faithful. It might look a bit odd at first but when you are in its presence, the design actually grows on you to a pint that it has a futuristic, very modern twist on an iconic nameplate. What you don’t see is the Italian Alfa Romeo platform that this Cherokee shares with the Dodge Dart. This provides a solid basis that produces a wonderful on-road experience and ruggedness for off-road duty. There is a special Trailhawk version of this Cherokee

that has been designed specifically for off-road, with higher front and rear bumpers to help it traverse ditches and climb mountains. The more practical base front wheel drive (FWD) model starts at $23,495 and is the lowest priced vehicle in the compact SUV class. The All wheel drive (AWD) model is also a value leader and starts at $25,695

Inside There are several things that set this Cherokee apart from the competition and a big difference is the level of interior fit and finish. Many of the vehicles that compete in this class are rather basic inside and come covered in hard plastic and feature simple designs. The Cherokee is covered in soft-touch materials, comfortable seats and a large touch screen in the centre of the dash for connectivity. The base screen is 5-inches but a larger 8.4-inch screen is available on the $29,995 Limited model. In addition, all models get a second 3.5-inch screen imbedded in the instrument cluster that is fully programmable and provides custom readouts. The back seat isn’t huge but the seats again are contoured nicely and provide good comfort. They also slide forward to elongate the cargo area if larger objects need to be carried. The rest of the dash has a stylish design that is a good combination of the bigger Grand Cherokee
